62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards RANT – 8/29

Hey people, the summer is coming to an end (I have to go back to school tomorrow!), and we all know what that means…

IT’S EMMY TIME!

As usual, E! started their coverage at 6, and it was, as usual, a whole lotta nuthin’.

Ryan Seacrest and that bobble head, Giuliana Rancic just blathered on and on about what people are wearing, and who will be the next judge on American Idol (I think Seacrest plugged that shit 45 times).

NBC started their coverage an hour before the show at 7, and I just tuned into them 5 minutes before.

Billy Bush is an idiot.

I’d like to see a cage match between Billy and Ryan.

Here is “TV Personality” Maria Menounos.

She looks like a hooker.

Hey Maria, “Showgirls” called. They want their wardrobe back.

And here’s an example of what seems to be the “jewelry trend” – rings that cover your fist.

Here is the electrified corpse of Robert Morse! He’s on Mad Men.

I’m guessing he’s very happy to be alive, let alone at this show.

Oh look everyone, “TV Personality” Shaun Robinson!

I think she’s still a talking head on Access Hollywood. Funny, you NEVER hear ANYTHING about this chick.

Annie Wood and Henry Ian.

Who are they and why are they here? (He’s Desmond on Lost, brother- Stefan)

Okay, it’s 8:00, on with the show!

Our host Jimmy Fallon made a GREAT opening package that aped Glee. I don’t know if you watch his show, but he’s been doing this for a while now.

I gotta give Mr. Braugher a shout out for being nominated. He’s Black, AND on a show that me and about 6 other people watch.

I wasn’t a big fan of “Everybody Loves Raymond,” but what’s his face did a great job creating this show. The guy who play –Ray Romano, THAT’S his name! Anyway, if it’s still on the air, you should watch it. No, I don’t remember what network its on. (TNT-Stefan)

Oh lord, here’s Fallon dressed up like Elton John, singing a tribute to the shows that were cancelled. He changed the lyrics to “Candle In The Wind.” Now, he’s a member if Boys II Men bidding farewell to Law And Order (“Goodbye To Yesterday”) – now he’s Billy Joe Armstrong singing goodbye to Lost (“The Time Of Your Life”) Pretty good Jimmy!

Now I’m really paying attention to the songs for the commercial bumpers – they are really funky. Playing “Fame” by David Bowie – That sampled JAMES BROWN!

Wait a minute, is that “Rocks Off” I hear? Wow. Oh, and another promo for the very funny NBC show “Community” (brought to you by some luxury car maker)

Ricky Gervais is DAMN FUNNY!

He’s handing out beers to the front rows.

And he cracked a good Mel Gibson joke. (Ricky didn’t want to do any jokes about him because he suffered enough. But not as much as the Jews)

I CAN’T WAIT for The Golden Globes!

DIRECTING FOR A VARIETY, MUSIC, OR COMEDY SPECIALThe 25th Anniversary Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ConcertIn Performance At The White House: A Celeb…Wait a minute, you don’t care about that.

WINNER – THE DAILY SHOW

Wait a minute. A commercial is about to come on. What’s that I hear? “Knee Deep” by P-Funk!

Annnnnnd, we’re back.

The Bob Hope Humanitarian Award is going to gorgeous George Clooney. And he’s asking the crowd to NOT give him a standing ovation. He’s so humble.

He’s come a long way from The Facts Of Life…

*** MOVIES AND MINI SERIES ***

I didn’t see any of them, so I’m skipping them.

Here’s Jewel. “I wrote this song for a friend who died of Cancer.”

What a nice lead in to the montage of TV people who died.

I would have rather heard this…

Oooh look, Al Pacino won an Emmy!

He played “Dr. Death” in the TV movie, “You Don’t Know Jack.” This is ironic, because he looks like an electrified corpse who just got shocked back to life. What is going on with the hair on his head…and his face? Oy.

Why does Tom Hanks have such a hard-on for WWII? A ten part miniseries? Isn’t this what The History Channel is for? Uh oh, does he own The History Channel?
